Hey. Couldn't find any topics on the article here. If there is already a thread on it, my apologies and please bin this one asap.

Earlier today Blizzard announced on the SEA site that they are working on adding name changes to SC2, in case you chose a name you don't like, or other such reasons

Post: http://sea.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/45237

They also say that after your free name change, you will have to pay for any future ones.

How does everyone feel about this?

I honestly don't mind, as i won't be changing my name anyways. My only concern is that they will implement region changes/"Cross realm" like that. With all the weird decision they've made with battle.net 2.0, its something i think they may consider.

Anyhow. This should address some of the complaints people were making on the forums about the issue of being stuck with a name they don't like.

This part also caught my attention ..

In addition, beyond this initial free name change, we’ll be launching a service similar to the one we offer for World of Warcraft which will allow additional character name changes for a fee.

you'll also be able to pay for character transfers but be warned that you can only bring a limited amount of gold.

Once free is a nice thing, but im sure they should just allow to make more names just as with the original Battle.net

I think you are the one who should lose some hostility and read the source .... after the initial change

In addition, beyond this initial free name change, we’ll be launching a service similar to the one we offer for World of Warcraft which will allow additional character name changes for a fee. We'll announce more details on how the free name change and additional paid character name changes will be implemented in the near future.

So, people can gain bad reps out the yin-yang and then change their name.

Good idea in some aspects, but don't really like this.

I'm sure they will follow the same process they did in WoW, in the end you'll be able to buy avatars and decals...

You should calm down and read before posting.
